This wine shows fabulous aromas of stones and flowers with dried fruits and spices. It’s subtle yet full with ultra-fine tannins and a gorgeous, long finish. Drink now. - James Suckling
The 1982 Canon is far from being the most consistent wine of the vintage, but good bottles can show brilliantly, offering up aromas of rich berry fruit, cigar wrapper, black truffles and loamy soil, followed by a medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy palate that's muscular and textural, with a deep core of cassis-like fruit and a long, lusty finish, where chalky tannins still assert themselves. This tasting note reflects the wine at its best. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Soft and appealing with real mineral notes. Very fruity and ready. Gentle, beguiling texture. Drink now! - Jancis Robinson
